First off, you know how to create a custom WordPress template right?

1)Create a custom template.
2)below the “the_content();” line
3) follow along here:

https://www.wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/advanced-usage/#highlighter_881707

Just grab that first 3 lines of code.
The array would be your args (arguments / filters if you will)

In the array(
Add

, ‘category’ => 14,

Or whatever category you want to display.
There you have 10 events per page in that category.

if (class_exists('EM_Events')) {
	echo EM_Events::output( array(
		'limit'=>10,
		'orderby'=>'name',
		'category'=>14
	) );
}

If you want more than 10 events per page, increase the ‘limit’ to say 20

PS If this resolves your issue – be sure to mark it as resolved in the upper right column.

I wrote the code up in a previous post.
Check the PASTEBIN link on that post first because that gives you a better copy / paste experience

Take note of the additional variables I have flagged – for picking up the “featured-image” in a custom size.
That is a custom function I wrote but did not include – if you need that I can send that along as well – however if you don’t need it – be sure to delete that portion from the code.

My first guess is that you have that content blank in the admin.
When you do click the link for the category, and you say its blank.
It is truly a white / blank page?
Is there any copy on the page at all?
Something like “no events listed for this category?” or anything like that?
First step in troubleshooting would be to search for that text in the plugin – to find what is trigger that message.
If you really see nothing at all, then you have an empty template somewhere which you need to fill out.

In the admin > Events > Settings
[GENERAL] tab
Click Event Categories.
Do you have a page assigned?
Is “Override with Formats?” set to yes
What about List Limits (is it 10 or more – make sure its not “0”)

Next click the [FORMATS/LAYOUTS] tab
Expand the “Categories Format”
What do you have in the “Categories Page” area?
Do you have a header?
Do you have “Categories list item format” filled out
Do you have “Categories list footer format”

Category Details

#_CATEGORYNAME
Shows the category name of the event.
#_CATEGORYID
Shows the category ID of the event.
#_CATEGORYIMAGE
Shows the event image, if available.
#_CATEGORYIMAGE{x,y}
Shows the category image thumbnail, x and y are width and height respectively, both being numbers e.g. #_CATEGORYIMAGE{100,100}
#_CATEGORYIMAGEURL
Shows the category image url, if available.
#_CATEGORYNOTES
Shows the location description.

@techcarellc – one thing to check – did you perhaps delete and recreate that category?
Go to your categories list under events manager.
Find your category – Is the ID definitely “2”?
Next look to the left of that ID – (the 4th column) how many events are assigned to that category?
Click on the number and it will show all stories associate with that category.
Finally
Double0check that all of those events are future events.

I notice a major overhaul in the admin setup for the recurring events.
In 5.1.3
There are

This event repeats every [_] day 

Recurrences span from[_________] to[_________] 

Events start from[_________] to[_________] All day [_]

Each event lasts [__]day(s)

For a recurring event, a one day event will be created on each recurring date within this date range.

But 5.1.4
Added
Event starts on [first|second|third|fourth] [Sunday|Monday|…]
Also checkboxes for which days the event ocurrs on.

That seems like a great idea for events that occur every Tuesday and Wednesday

One more for the same.
Rolling back to version 5.1.3

Just in case pastebin messes up, here’s code for archive. although line wrapping may cause some of these to break

//	CREATE EVENT HEADER, FOOTER, AND CONTENT AREA
$featuredEvtHeader = '
    <!-- START HEADER -->
            <table>
                <thead>
                    <tr>

}

YOU GUYS ROCK!!!
agelonwl is correct on the shortcode format.

FOR THE SEARCHERS
Here is the php code to group your events

https://pastebin.com/sW84UwNc
(pastebin seems better at storing code)

Sorry – further notes:
It can be done in the calendar view.
So the function is there I’m just not sure if its a function I can hook into and call
Or if I need to write something from scratch?

you’re correct. Thanks for the fast reply.

FOR THOSE SEARCHING:
Here is the function:

//PAGE URI OF EM
$event_page_link = trailingslashit(get_permalink(get_option("dbem_events_page")));

//To get this as part of a url:
echo '<a href="'.$event_page_link.'">Calendar of Events</a>';

//or use this
<a href="<?php echo $event_page_link ?>">Calendar of Events</a>

Thats whats odd. I just double checked. See my screencap.
Nothing available for authors. Same thing when viewing all posts in the custom post section.
And when editing a single post in custom post.
Do I need to do something in the code when setting up the custom post, to enable it? I have not disabled it.
Its available on regular posts.

WOOO HOOOO

So here’s what I did:

function author_bio_display()
{
global $authordata;
global $post;
$user = new WP_User( $authordata->ID );
//if ( $user->has_cap( $cap_name ) ) {
if ( $user->has_cap( moderate_comments ) ) {
// do something
echo’THANK YOU JESUS THIS WORKED’;
}
// rest of my code here is unnecessary
}

I found this.

if (author_can( $post, 'add_users' )) {
                    // do something if the author of the post $post has $capability
                    echo'WORKING';
                }else{
                    echo'can\'t add users';
                }

Is there a better route to do this?
Because I would also like to use the function to highlight comments from that same user.

Isn’t there a simple?
“” can userID add_users “”

I guess a better question would be this:
How could you use the same function to highlight all admin/editor comments?
I’ve found “Author Comments Highlighted” but that is for only the author.
How would you highlight comments from all users with a certain capability?

Thanks Rev Voodoo
Why is it that the custom fields would load instantly (up to the point where the_content is called) and then the rest of my custom fields which get displayed below the_content pop right in after the_content loads.

ex:
(CF means custom field)

CF1
CF2
the_content (bottleneck is here)
CF3 (this pops right in after the_content loads)
CF4
CF5
…
CF10

If I move the_content below all CF, the 10 CF load instantly but the_content is still slow. So thats definitely where the issue lies.
I’ll do some more investigating and report what I come up with.

Has no one else encountered this?
